I always wonder if these accounts are Russian or Chinese disinformation campaigns, or if there's someone in Canada who's truly this idiotic. It comes across as having mental health issues.

In any event, neither option really makes me feel better about the world.

Which Usenet provider are you using, and which indexers?

It was such a good book. I can't wait for the movie release! Apparently its due to he released in 2026.

Ah, gotcha! 100%. I've had conversations with people who were convinced that by working a few extra hours or getting a raise would result in them netting an overall lower amount than of they hadn't - they didnt understand that the new tax bracket only applied to the money they made within that new bracket.

I see what you're saying though - the extra money isnt quite as much as it would be of you were in a lower bracket. That $10k raise might only net you $6k instead of $8k.

For what its worth, I'm all for that - I think the more you make the more you should contribute to society. But that's an entirely different discussion!

The more you make gross the less you net due to tax brackets?

I dont think you understand how tax brackets work.

Are you one of those people who think if you make a little extra and go into the next tax bracket, all your previous income will be taxed at that new rate?

Unless you're in some wildly unqie tax situation, if you make more gross, your net will always increase.

Really?? I wasn't aware. Ive been running the linuxserver.io image for a few months now. You think its worth going with the official container instead? I'll give it a shot. The docker compose writeup is the same, aside from the image name?

I forgot the /s! Agree with everything you wrote.

That's a ridiculous take. What about mass transit drivers? Ambulance drivers? Fire truck drivers?

Give your head a shake.

They're great phones to run GrapheneOS on.

Its been legal for a while in Canada now and the sky has not fallen.

Chip sales are way up. Maybe this is just Big Snackfood playing us for fools?

 

In the context menu on a given post, would it be possible to add an option to block that community (or user) directly?

As it stands now, I'd have to go to that community and then block it from there, unless I'm missing something.

Edit: Disregard. It's already in the software. Long press on the community name let's you block.

Protectli FW6B (self.selfhosted)
 

I'm using a Protectli FW6B as my opnsense firewall/router. I'm upgrading my internet service to 1.5 GB fiber and I'm not sure what to do with this device once I do. I could continue using it as my router (I guess put it on the LAN side of the supplied Bell "Gigahub" router/WiFi ap/whatever the fiber equivalent of a modem is?) but then I lose out on 1/3 of my bandwidth.

I already have a homebuilt NAS running truenas with a bunch of services - I guess I could move all those services from truenas onto the Protectli and keep the NAS solely as a storage system?

Either that or just sell it to recupe the costs somewhat. I'm already considering selling my ruckus 510s because the new router comes with WiFi 6. If I did that, I'd probably look to sell the 2x ruckus r510 aps I have setup too.

Is there another option I'm missing?

I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I've only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I've been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows full time until I tried again with Fedora.

How will what Redhat is doing affect Fedora for the home user? Should I start considering something else?

Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Sticking with fedora for now it is.
